try making this as root

if it gives you again the error "No such file or directory" on another file, do the same thing with touch.
Eventually, post the new apt's output here
I created amsn.desktop and tried 'apt-get install amsn' but it failed just like before. Then I recreated the .desktop file and with 'dpkg -r amsn' it said something like 'Package does not exist can't delete'. I checked the app.managers uninstall list and it was gone, but dpkg -L amsn says that it does not contain any files instead of package not installed. So, I'm still where I started

EDIT: I forgot the output after touch and apt-get:
Reading package lists... Done

amsn is already the newest version.
